A little about me.
A little about me.
I'm currently a senior product designer at The Times, but I got here sideways: I started as a copywriter in Stockholm, moved to London, kept writing for a while, then switched to UX. That background still shows in how I work.

Since then I've ranged from B2B SaaS and large data platforms to e-commerce for Eurostar, Specsavers, Vans and The North Face, by way of campaigns for Microsoft, Hotel Indigo and Heineken, plus the odd unconventional project, including an interactive video chat with Derren Brown, a strange sentence to have on a CV. I work across the full process, from shaping the problem to the detail of the experience, and I'm technical enough to get into APIs and engineering constraints while keeping designs grounded in what the team can actually ship.

Outside work: live music, powerlifting, a surfskate meet-up group I run, and guitar and ukulele. Favourite artists are King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Billy Strings and the Grateful Dead.

I also bring five years’ experience as a copywriter. That shapes how I design: finding the central idea, organising information and choosing language that helps people understand what they can do next.

Design around real workflows.
At GWI, I connected finding data with previewing it and putting it to use.
